| short quote = ''There are a lot of things that we intuitively know to be true through personal experience.  However, personal experience differs between individuals.  In other words, we don't know for sure if we '''know''' something or if it just result of our personal experiences.  The scientific method is a strategy that helps us know  that we know something, and sometimes, to know that we were actually thinking wrongly the whole time.  I don't want to simply "know something" -- I want to '''know''' that I know something.  So, I've chosen to dedicate my work to doing science and talking about it.''
| about me = Hi. I'm Aaron Halfaker.  I've been a Wikipedian since 2008.  I'm half computer scientist, half social scientist.  See [[:en:User:Halfak (WMF)#Publications|my publications]].  In 2011, I started working with the Wikimedia Foundation as a researcher.  See my volunteer account, [[:en:User:EpochFail]], for my non-staff work.
